So I stopped by the store today to get a new coat. My old ones are 3X, waaaay too big. I got the one at Costco last month, but that was relatively lightweight. I needed something with a bit more bulk. I lucked out and got an XL on clearance for $29.95! It's a tad bit tight, but it'll fit eventually.
But yeah, I get cold now! Whassat?
I've had other WLS people say that they too are cold a lot more, when before Surgery, they were always HOT!!
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that I am colder now too, but I am not sure if it is just because the weather has turned & we are trying to not use the heat anymore than necessary or not. But I used to not get this cold. So maybe? I just thought that I would need to lose more than 27 lbs to notice a change.
Woo hoo for the coo on the fantastic priced coat!!
Happy Holidays
Oh yeah - I totally feel the cold more and our kind of cold is nowhere near yours in the US! I really feel for you guys there.
ReplyDeleteDebi - everybody's different, so 27 pounds may have been enough for you to start feeling it. It's odd, because I've been big for about 20 years now, so I was always the sweaty one (even in winter). I was downright FREEZING last night!
ReplyDeleteCara - for 27 years I lived in Houston, Texas, which doesn't get real "winters," but it's a very DAMP chill, which really gets into your bones. The temperature number may not get that low, but the humidity really exacerbates it. Now that I live in the north again (though THEY consider themselves the south here) with snow and wind chills, yeah, it's cold.
